CHAMPAIGN,   ILLINOIS 

The  impossibility  of  giving  ;i  sketch  of  Champaign's  history  in  a  short  article  is  apparent. 
The  developmenl  of  our  city  during  the  Lasl  half  century  can  be  portrayed  effectively  by  ;i 
resume  of  the  interests  vested  in  our  city  at  the  present  time. 

In  the  year  of  Eighteen  Hundred  SeventyA.  D.,  Champaign  was  a  small  rural  community 
of  four  thousand  inhabitants.  As  the  town  w;is  situated  in  the  center  of  the  greatesl  corn- 
producing  country  in  the  state,  it  bad  a  natural advantage  as  a  markel  and  ;i  shipping  poinl  for 
the  farmer's  products.  At  this  time  the  State  University  was  permanently  located  in  the 
county  which  added  a  great  deal  to  attract  business  interests  to  the  little  rural  community.  In 
the  short  space  of  one  half  a  century  the  little  town  grew  to  be  a  city  of  twenty-five  thousand 
— the  greatesl  educational  center  in  the  Mississippi  Valley  and  a  thriving  business  community. 

The  remarkable  advantages  attracted  four  railroads,  that  serve  the  city  from  all  points, 
bringing  into  our  midsl  annually  thousands  of  strangers  from  all   parts  to  visit  the  university. 

This  influx  gains  in  volume  as  Champaign  becomes  the  center  of  the  network  of  paved 
highways  in  the  state. 

A  greal  deal  of  pride  is  taken  in  the  large  business  district  of  Champaign.  In  order  to 
be  more  commodious,  the  streets  have  been  widened.  These  are  beautified  by  boulevard  lights 
that  extend  to  the  city's  limits.  The  clearing  house  for  the  businesses,  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce, is  very  strong  and  receives  the  hearty  backing  of  all  the  merchants.  The  selective  busi- 
ness men's  clubs — Kiwanis  and  Rotary — are  very  active  and  are  institutions  that  give  a  great 
deal  1o  our  city. 

The  city  is  under  the  Commission  Form  of  City  Government  which  has  been  very  success- 
ful in  administration.  A  \^vy  efficient  police  force  and  fire  department  arc  maintained  to  pro- 
tect the  welfare  of  the  citizens.  Under  the  Park  Commission  control  six  city  parks  are  estab- 
lished which  not  only  beautify  the  city  but  are  so  situated  to  serve  everyone.  The  adminis- 
tration has  been  very  active  in  bringing  about  the  construction  of  the  new  viaducts,  the  new  de- 
pot and  two  more  miles  of  paved  streets  in  the  city,  bringing  the  total  up  to  fifty  miles  of  paved 
streets  within  the  corporate  limits. 

The  education  of  the  future  generation  is  cared  for  in  fourteen  schools.  Even  with  this 
great  number  there  is  a  crowded  condition.  Plans  are  under  consideration  at  present  to  turn 
the  present  high  school  into  an  elementary  high  school  and  to  erect  a  new  senior  high  school 
that  would  be  attended  by  the  students  of  the  three  upper  classes.  It  is  a  very  progressive  step 
in  the  educational  field  and  if  taken  will  greatly  encourage  attendance  of  many  who  drop  after 
finishing  the  grades. 

In  our  midst  thirty  churches  are  well  established,  representing  the  various  denominations. 
Champaign  realized  that  the  safety  of  future  citizenship  is  vested  in  its  churches,  so  these  insti- 
tutions are  among  Champaign's  oldest.  They  are  very  influential  and  make  for  a  tine  residence 
community. 

The  large  public  library  is  a  thing  of  pride  to  the  community.  It  was  erected  in  the  year 
of   eighteen    hundred    ninety-five   and    consists   of  twenty-two  t  housand  volumes. 

The  Champaign  County  Country  Club  is  a  very  important  cog  in  the  social  life  of  the  com- 
munity. The  course  is  a  very  attractive  one  that  has  gained  notice  throughout  the  state.  Nine 
more  holes  have  been  added  by  the  progressive  club  in  order  to  attract  tournaments  here. 

When  our  history  is  viewed  in  the  lighl  of  the  intcresl  vested  here  our  pasl  growth  is  not 
surprising.  The  remarkable  advantages  and  attractive  opportunities  centered  here  reach  out 
and  draw  people  to  us.  The  things  done  in  the  past,  prosperity  of  the  present,  and  the  plans 
for  the  future,  speak  well  for  a  great  Champaign.

THE  CHAMPAIGN  CHAMBER  OF  COMMERCE 


reorganiza!  ion  have 


CHAS.  M.  STAHL 


The  Champaign  Chamber  of  Commerce  as  re- 
organized tinder  the  American  City  Bureau  plan 
in  June,  1921,  became  more  of  a  Civic  organiza- 
tion than  a  down-town  business  men's  organiza- 
i  ion  or  merchanl  's  associal  ion. 

Some  of  its  chief  accomplishments  since  this 
been  Id  have  taken  a  large 
part  in  the  success  of  i  lie 
bond  issue  for  the  build- 
ing of  t  he  ( lhampaign  ami 
Qrbana  sanitary  district 
which  is  to  give  adequate 
sewage  disposal  plant  to 
t he  university  ci1 ies.  This 
is  a  half  million  dollar 
project. 

The  Champaign  Coun- 
ty Road  Improvement 
committee  was  organized 
from  the  Good  Roads 
committee  of  the  Cham- 
paign Chamber  of  Commerce.  It  was  this  com- 
mittee which  planned  the  publicity  campaign  for 
the  Champaign  County  hard  roads  bond  issue  of 
$2,500,000  which  carried  bv  a  large  majority 
February  21.  1923. 

There  was  organized  by  a  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce committee  the  Trade  Extension  Depart- 
ment which  financed  and  is  responsible  for  the 
trade  promotion  plans  of  the  merchant  members 
of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce. 

The  new  Illinois  Central  Station  and  the  Sub- 
ways are  in  a  large  part  the  result  of  the  ac- 
tivities of  the  strong  committee  from  the  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  who  started  negotiations  with 
the  I.  C.  officials  and  the  city  government.  This 
has  developed  into  nearly  a  million  dollar  propo- 
sit  ion. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  through  its  Rural 
Relations  Committee  in  co-operation  with  the 
university  authorities  and  the  Champaign 
County  Farm  Bureau  fostered  the  Ton  Litter 
contest  for  Champaign  County  and  we  became 
pioneers  in  this  movement  in  Illinois.  On  Feb. 
2nd  we  will  present  to  winners  in  Champaign 
County  six  Gold  Medals  to  contestants  who  pro- 
duced litters  weighing  a  ton  or  more  at  six 
months  of  age. 

This  committee  is  at  present  working  on  plans 
for  bringing  about  belter  relations  between  our 
Rural  population  and  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
and  Business  Men  of  the  city. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  has  been  active  in 
backing  up  the  enactment  of  safe  driving  and 
parking  ordinances.  We  are  about  to  see  enacted 
one-hour  parking  and  are  pleased  with  the  re- 
sults of  1  lie  boulevard  stop  ordinance  on  Green 
-1  reet. 

The  tourist  Camp  committee  are  at  work  with 
plans  for  a  Tourist  Camp  for  Champaign.  It 
is  the  hope  and  desire  to  have  this  ('amp  in  oper- 
ation earlv  in  the  touring  season  of  1924. 


The  Community  Building  or  V.  .M.  < '.  A.  Com- 
mittee are  at  work  on  plans  for  the  building  of 
a  type  of  structure  that  will  meet  the  require- 
ments of  Senator  McKinley's  generous  endow- 
ment offer.  This  is  a  commendable  proposition 
and  a  much  needed  community  building. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  Ins  been  credited 
with  having  helped  to  create  sentiment  in  favor 
of  the  proposed  bone-jrard  drainage.  It  has 
helped  to  create  favorable  sentiment  for  addi- 
tional schools  and  has  given  time  and  efforl  to 
the  preservation  of  our  Commission  Form  of 
Government. 

The  work  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  is 
largely  accomplished  through  the  activities  of 
the  committees  who  serve  unselfishly  and  work 
along  lines  required  to  accomplish  their  various 
purposes.  In  fact  the  present  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce is  a  Civic  organization  in  which  Member- 
ship is  a  definite  indication  of  a  man's  standing 
as  a  Business  .Man  or  Citizen.  It  is  an  indica- 
tor of  the  measures  of  his  responsibility  to  his 
community. 

If  a  citizen  deliberately  refuses  to  keep  pace 
with  his  community  it  is  not  far  wrong  to  reach 
the  conclusion  that  he  is  willing  to  allow  others 
to  bear  the  burdens  of  Membership  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce  or  similar  organizations,  while  he 
participates  fully  in  the  benefits  derived  there- 
from. The  high-minded  unselfish  type  of  men 
and  women  do  not  join  Chamber  of  Commerce 
in  order  to  see  how  much  they  can  get  out  of  it. 
but  rather  because  they  seek  an  opportunity  to 
put  into  it  their  energy,  their  whole-hearted 
service  and  support  in  the  upbuilding  of  the  city 
that  provides  and  makes  possible  their  business; 
that  offers  religious  and  educational  advantages 
for  their  families;  the  city  that  they  call  Home. 

A  Chamber  of  Commerce  seldom  becomes  a 
wealthy  organization  so  far  as  material  wealth 
is  concerned,  but  in  terms  of  service  it  declares 
many  dividends  and  perforins  invaluable  ser- 
vices each  day.  each  month  and  year. 

YOUR    DUTY  TOWARDS  THE  CHAMBER  OF  COMMERCE 

Join  it.  Pay  your  dues  promptly.  Serve  it. 
Endeavor  to  improve  it.  Spend  your  energy  to 
make  your  community  a  little  belter  place  than 
you  found   it. 

What  do  you  know  about  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce? Have  you  given  your  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce a  square  deal  ?  Have  you  boosted  its  work  .' 
Have  you  helped  solve  its  problems?  Have  you 
had  anything  to  say  when  asked  to  express  your 
views?  Have  you  criticized  the  work  done  or 
undone  yet  failed  to  assist  with  your  thought 
and  energy  when  time  for  action  came.  Have 
you  taken  any  trouble  to  find  out  what  Chamber 
of  Commerce  is  doing  from  week  to  week?  Do 
you  know  the  internal  workings  of  this  your  own 
organization.  Frankly,  have  you  given  your 
Chamber  of  Commerce  a  square  deal.1  Think  it 
over.  CHAS.  M.  STAHL.

WHAT  BROUGHT  THE 
UNIVERSITY  HERE? 


Although  we  accept  the  prosperity  and  growth  of  our  city  as  a  natural  attribute  to  the  presence 

and  growth  of  the  university  we  do  not    often  consider   the    enterprise    that    was    used    to    bring     the 
university  here. 

The  establishment  of  a  state  university  was  strongly  advocated  after  Congress  passed  an  act  in 
1862  granting  each  state  four  hundred  eighty  thousand  acres  of  land  scrip  as  an  endowment  for 
an  industrial  university,  to  be  accepted  by  the  states  and  applied  to  the  purpose  designated.  In  1864 
a  committee  of  the  farmers  at  the  State  Fair  prepared  a  bill  and  presented  it  to  the  Legislature,  as 
provided  by  the  act  of  Congress.     It  was  this  bill  that  became  a  law. 

The  contest  for  the  university  was  long  and  severe.  Jacksonville  having  nearly  all  of  the  state 
institutions  within  its  limits,  and  Bloomington  made  strong  demands  for  it.  Three  or  four  other 
points  presented  claims;  among  them  Champaign,  a  county  then  almost  unknown  in  the  state.  The 
effort  of  our  county  at  first  was  considered  a  joke  by  the  other  contesting  points.  This  was  soon 
changed  by  the  strong  bid  that  was  made  by  our  county. 

A  committee  appointed  by  the  board  of  supervisors  was  authorized  to  make  a  very  attractive 
offer  to  the  state.  In  consideration  of  the  permanent  location  of  the  university  at  Champaign  county 
the  committee  offered  the  state  the  Urbana  and  Champaign  Institute  buildings  and  grounds,  con- 
taining about  ten  acres;  also,  one  hundred  sixty  acres  of  land  adjacent  thereto;  also,  four  hundred 
acres  near  Urbana;  also,  four  hundred  ten  acres  extending  south  of  the  buildings  given.  The  offer 
also  included  one  hundred  thousand  dollars  in  Champaign  county  bonds  and  two  thousand  dollars 
worth  of  shrubbery  and  trees  from  Dunlap's  Nursery.  The  Illinois  Central  Railroad  Company  also 
offered  to  haul  fifty  thousand  dollars  worth  of  freight  over  their  road  for  the  benelil  of  the  univer- 
sity.    The  total   valuation   of  the  offer  was  four  hundred  fifty  thousand  dollars. 

In  1867  the  state  legislature  accepted  the  offer  of  our  county  by  passing  a  law  to  provide  for 
the  organization  and  maintenance  of  the  university.  This  embittered  many  parties  who  had  been 
interested  in  locating  the  university  elsewhere.  Charges  of  bribery  and  corruption  were  freely  passed 
the  rounds  of  the  press  of  our  Stale  at  our  expense.  There  was  no  foundation  for  these  charges  and 
they  diil  nothing  but  hinder  the  difficult  task  before  the  board  of  trustees.  With  the  growth  of  the 
university  tins  opposition  soon  disappeared.  In  its  place  a  feeling  of  state  pride  developed  that  has 
made  possible  the  remarkable  growth  of  the  university  that  now  towers  in  our  midst  as  evidence  of 
the  foresight  and  enterprise  of  our  early  city  dads.

The  last  lew  years  have  brought  about  a  completeness 
in  Funeral  Directing  but  little  realized  by  the  general  public. 
Beautilul  buildings  have  replaced  less  desirable  quarters  and 
the  linest  and  most  modern  equipment  have  been  added  lor 
reverently  and  perfectly  caring  lor  those  just  departed  this 
lite.  The  Sturdyvin  Funeral  Home  has  become  noted  lor 
having  almost  attained  the  ideal  in  these  many  respects,  and 
merits  the  patronage  ol  everyone  desiring  such  service.

THE  MEMORIAL  STADIUM 

University  of  Illinois 

CHAMPAIGN,  ILLINOIS 


The  greal  Illinois  stadium  thai  was  opened  for  a  crowd  of  60,000  football  fans  on  Novem- 
ber third  for  the  Chicago-Illinois  Homecoming  game  is  one  in  which  the  idea  of  architectural 
beauty  has  been  combined  with  utility.  Perhaps  the  principal  reason  for  its  beauty  lies  in  the 
fact  that  it  is  a  stately  memorial.  The  memory  of  the  Illinois  men  who  gave  their  lives  to  their 
country  in  the  world  war  will  be  honored  by  an  impressive  Roman  Doric  colonade  overlooking 
the  campus.  The  Georgian  style  of  architecture  of  red  brick  and  bull'  Bedford  limestone  has 
been  used  to  give  tone  to  the  great  promenades. 

At  present  the  stadium  can  seat  ()().()()()  people.  These  seats  make  up  the  cast  and  west 
stands  along  the  sides  of  the  gridiron.  Each  stand  consists  of  a  main  floor  and  a  balcony.  Sev- 
enty-five percent  of  the  total  capacity  are  sealed  within  the  limits  of  the  opposing  goal  posts. 
Tlie  plans  for  the  completed  stadium  provide  for  the  joining  of  the  two  stands  at  the  north  and 
south  ends,  bringing  the  total  capacity  up  to  T_'(). ()()(). 

The  contract  price  of  the  stadium  to  date  is $1,700,000.  This  does  not  provide  for  the  com- 
pletion of  the  Greal  Halls  and  the  appropriate  landscaping  to  sel  oil'  the  structure. 

Champaign  enjoys  the  distinction  of  being  the  home  of  this  greal  stadium.  The  publicity 
connected  with  this  mammoth  memorial  is  invaluable  to  the  city.  It  will  make  for  a  greater  and 
better  Champaign  in  the  near  future.

THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  ILLINOIS 
DO  YOU  KNOW— 

Thai  a  new  process  for  manufacturing  cuke  lias  been  discovered  by  the  University  of  Illinois  which  will,  if  commer 
dally  successful,  "add  inure  in  the  wealth  of  the  state  tlian  all  the  appropriations  the  University  will  gel  in  a 
hundred  yeai 

That   over    10,0(10  samples  of  soil  have  been  collected   from  iill    over   the   state,   tested   and   classified    by   the    University,   a 
work   which   has  cost    hundreds   of   thousands   of   dollars,  hut    which   is   worth   millions  of  dollars  to  this  and   future 
generations  of  the  state .' 

i'l'hat  a  new  metal  —  Illium — has  been   produced   by  the   University  as  a  substitute  for  platinum,  which  not   only  excels 
the  latter  metal  in  many  resisting  qualities,  but  which  can  he  produced  much  cheaper! 
That  the  timely  work  of  the  University  in  its  fight  against   the   Hessian   fly,  against   the  chinch   bug,  against   Oat 
Smut,  against    Flag  Smut  anil   Take  All,  against   Black  Rot,  ami  against   other  pests  has  saved  millions  of  bushels  of 
wheat,  oats,   coin,   apples  and    other  crops? 

That  authorities  have  said  that  the  University  of  Illinois  has  accomplished  as  much  in  the  problems  of  coal  production 
and  coal  conservation   as  any   similar  agency  in   the   United  States' 

That  the  University  of  Illinois  developed  the  serum  for  the  successful  treatment  of  ptomaine  poisoning  in  humans 
and   forage   poisoning  animals.' 

That  more  than  18,000  degrees  have  been  conferred  upon  graduates  since  1872;  and  that  more  than  1,000  degrees  are 
conferred  each  year .' 

That  th<-  total  student  enrollment   for  the  present  University  year  will  approximate  11,0001 

That    the    University's    college    of    medicine,    college    of    dentistry   and   school   of   pharmacy  are   all   located   in   Chic 

That  the  University  of  Illinois  Band  (total  membership,  now  300)  has  been  called  by  John  Philip  Sousa — "The 
World's    Greatest     College    Hand".' 

That  besides  regular  scholastic  work,  approximately  1,200  seasoned  military  men — good  emergency  officers— are  turned 
out    each  year,   two  years  of  military  work   being  required  of  every  studentf 

That  the  University  carries  its  message  of  science  and  its  lessons  of  advancement  and  education  right  into  the  homes, 
stores  and  shops  through  short  courses  in  Farm  Tractors,  Home  Economics,  in  Agriculture,  in  Journalism,  in 
Drainage,  in  Engineering,  in  Industrial  Education,  etc.,  some  of  the  courses  being  held  at  the  University  and 
Others  throughout  the  state.' 

That  the  University  has  been  active  for  years  in  uplifting  the  scholastic  standards  of  High  Schools  of  the  State 
(through  its  High  School  Visitor  i,  and  in  creating  civic  pride  and  community  advancement  (through  its  Com- 
munity Adviser  and   his  Community  Conferences)  .' 


s 


That    the    University    is   cooperating    in    an    exhaustive    forestry  survey  of  the  State  which   has  as  its   program  the  estab- 
lishment   of   a    permanent    forestry    policy    worth    untold   future  wealth   to  the   Stab.' 

That    235   acres,    besides   a    farm    of   001    acres,   and   sixty    odd    buildings,   comprise   the   physical    plant    of    the    University 
of  Illinois* 


That    the    University   of    Illinois    performs   four   distinct    functions? 

1.  Teaching  the  undergraduate  body  of  students,  not  in   set    courses   most    easily    taught,    but    in    those    which    best 
meet    their   needs,   requiring,   of  course,  constant   revision. 

2.  Training    new    faculty   ami    executive    staff:    a    university  is  not  only  a   repository   of  knowledge  and  an  agency 

!of   discovery,   but   a    training   place   for   its   own   workers.      Teachers    and    research    men    cannot     be    bought    like 
commodities.      Tin ly    places   where   they   are   produced  are  these  same  universities;   that   is  to  say,  they  must 

be  manufactured  through  the  machinery  of  the  institution. 
.'!.    Investigation   and    research    for   the   sake   of  correcting    old    beliefs    and    for    the    discovery    of    new    facts,    with 

which   not    only   to  improve  teaching,  but  to  advance  the  industries  and  refine  the  arts  of  life. 
4.    Attendance    upon    meetings,    conventions,    and    conferences,    educational     industrial,    economic,    and    social,    both 

1  national,   state   and    local,   at    which    leading   men    meet  and  discuss  questions  of  progress,  ami  at   which  the  Uni- 

versity's advice   and   help   are  sought. 
1A.S   on    the    teaching    side    the    University    imparts    known    truths   and   facts   like   any    other    teaching   institution,    on    the 
side   nt'   research    it    produces   new  truth.     For  the   public   welfare,  the  latter  part   of  its  work,   is  in   the  long  run, 
as    important    as    the    former.      It    is    through    its    research  activities  that  the  University  adds  directly  to  tl 
nomic    and    social    well  being    of   the    people. 
The    three    organizations    whose    special    work    is    to    promote    research    are    the    Graduate    School,    the    Engineering    Ex- 
periment  station,  and  the  Agricultural  Experiment  Station.     The  Graduate  School  is  an  organization  of  all  de- 
partments of  the  University   irrespective  of  colleges,   for   the   purpose   of   training    investigators   and    directly   pro- 
moting departmental   research. 
The  Agricultural    Experiment    Station   and   its  great   work   are  matters  of  common  knowledge. 

The  Engineering  Experiment  Station  was  the  first  of  its  kind  in  the  country.  Among  its  researches  are  investi- 
gations of  the-  vicosity  of  glass,  the  drainage  of  land;  construction  of  highways;  riveted  s:eel  structures; 
various  properties  of  coal;  reinforced  concrete  and  other  materials  of  construction;  twist  drills  and  the  drilling 
of  metals;  coal  mining;  and  many  others.  Some  corporations  spend  annually  for  research  in  their  own  labora- 
tories three  or  four  times  the  expenditure  of  the  Engineering  Experiment  Station.  The  results  of  their  investi- 
gations are  for  their  own  use.     The  discoveries  of  the  Engineering   Experiment   Station   are  for  the  public   use.
